The North American Association of Indian Students (NAAIS) expressed disappointment after Seattle police officers laughed about the death of Indian graduate student Kartik Vasudev. NAAIS said the incident raises concerns about police protecting the Indian student community. With over 100,000 Indian international students in the US, NAAIS urged local and national authorities to implement safety measures amid rising hate crimes. While appreciating calls to hold the officers accountable, NAAIS said the incident should prompt reflection on not minimizing Indian students' struggles. NAAIS seeks firm discipline against the officers involved to show Indian students' lives have equal value.
